36312 Another very low, and of course, high static recording of 2 speakers, Colonel Goroud starts off by fawning over how great Edison and his phonograph is, then either passes the mike, or is switched over to a recording of the Prime Minister, the sound is INCREDIBLY low, and I have no idea what he is saying!!!!

The salutation by Gladstone starts out as totally unintelligible, as is understandable by a politician not familiar with the phonograph. But: near the last part, we hear Gladstone clearly if listened to closely, and a clear enough record of the voice of one of Great Britain's more famous Prime Ministers, and well worth the listen for historians interested in this period.
